Laparoscopy: This procedure is done under general anesthesia in an outpatient center. A laparoscope is used to view and treat problems with the outer wall of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. An incision is made near your navel and a needle is inserted into the abdomen. This procedure generally takes one to two hours but this varies with the extent of the surgery. You may experience some discomfort and pain in the navel and abdomen area for a while.

Risks and Side Effects: Complications from anesthesia, allergic reactions, infection at the wound site, blood clots, bladder infection and puncture of the abdominal organs.

Hysteroscopy: This procedure requires local or general anesthesia and is best done before ovulation and after menstrual periods so as to have a good view of the uterine lining. An instrument called a hysteroscope is used to examine and treat inside the uterine cavity. The procedure will last for one to two hours although this may vary.

Laparotomy: This procedure is performed in the hospital under general anesthesia. An incision is made above the pubic bone and the doctor examines and removes any scar tissue, growths or obstructions. This will take one to three hours
